Trillion Energy International announced well‑flow test results from its Alapli-2 well at the SASB gas field offshore Turkey. Alapli-2 has 32 m of total gas pay in the A, B, C, and D sands of the Akcakoca Member, which is 22.7 m thicker than the offset well Alapli-1. Measured gas pay thickness of 15.1 m was perforated and tested in Alapli-2—9.1 m in the A sand and 6 m in the D sand. A combined flow rate of 11.9 MMcf/D was obtained using a 24/64-in. choke.
After drilling five successful long-reach directional wells and one recompletion at SASB, Trillion said it will continue to perform several new perforations of existing wells and begin to recalibrate the drilling program to optimize capital expenditures.
The next phase of drilling is expected to resume in mid-2024 and includes several sidetrack wells, long-reach directional wells, and stratigraphic exploration wells.
For the remainder of 2023, Trillion said it will focus on conducting field analysis to determine how to maximize gas production and ascertain which gas pools require additional wells in the next phase of drilling, complete reprocessing and remapping of the 3D seismic to delineate new stratigraphic exploration, and plan and organize the next drilling phase to maximize returns on deployed capital.
After the perforation of Alapli-2, the wireline unit and tractors will be moved to Trillion’s Akcakoca platform to carry out additional perforations.
